Space-time signatures of surface warming accelerations since 1970.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
With record-breaking temperatures over 2023-2024 and extreme events observed around the world, there is currently a debate in the scientific literature and media as to whether global warming is accelerating. Here we address this question from a regional perspective, determining regions where an increase in the rate of warming is detected in surface temperature observations. Our results show that there are coherent space-time systems of acceleration in warming and shift toward warming since 1970 that are consistent across multiple surface temperature datasets. We show that accelerated warming and warming onset have occurred in different regions and are mostly present at mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. There is notable variability in the onset of regional warming accelerations: the timings vary from the 1980s to 2010s. Our results provide some nuance on the ongoing debate about global warming acceleration by identifying the source regions experiencing changes in the rate of warming and their timings.
